Hello travelstress, I missed you

[beelikej]

I'm preparing for my trip to Berlin tomorrow. Of course now the site for the event is having issues and even though I already checked everything last week, it's getting on my nerves.

But I'm taking deep breaths in between freaking out and I'm positive I will make it to the Telekom Extreme Playground in the Velodrom to see Panic! at the Disco. Oh, apparently there is some sort of sporty event going on as well. *grins*

I'll have to face ice and snow and complicated public transport but hopefully I'll manage to meet lumikki_fee at the planned time and location... (Meeting an fellow fan may even be more exciting than the concert;)

Here's my itinerary for Sunday December 5:
07:15 Leave house; cycle to trainstation
07:48 Catch first train of the day to Deventer
08:12 Arrive in Deventer
08:19 Catch international train to Berlin
13:20 Arrive at Berlin Hbf-Lehrter Bahnh

There I need to find the S-bahn (subway) to Alexanderplatz,
walk to the Gontardstraße and catch a tram to Landsberger Allee.
The Velodrom is supposedly right across the street...

If you're curious: the event will be streamed live on the website (and on German MTV). So you can enjoy all the skateboarding and BMX-ing PLUS the concert from the comfort of your home. Bastards.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll continue packing and getting all nostalgic about not being around for our Sinterklaas celebrations for the first time in 40 years.

*breathe in, breathe out*

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU! And I'm so glad that you're meeting up with someone too. That makes it WAY better. *high fives*

I'M EXCITED FOR ME TOO!
:-)

*high fives back*

i'll be there too :)
i'm lucky i only have to drive 2 hours by car... i'm exciteeeed :D

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Yay! You are indeed lucky, although the roads can't be too easy with this weather. It's still snowing here and I understand it's the same wintery wonderland in Berlin. Drive safely, okay?

Looks like the band is already traveling: Brendon tweeted about having a layover in Zurich. So I trust the weather won't stop them from reaching Berlin.

I hope we make it too:)

If you want to keep out an eye for anyone else but the guys: I carry a neon-green fluffy backpack that's quite noticable. I'll probably be hanging around the P!atD signing table around five;)

[tonkitragedy.livejournal.com]

i hope we'll be able to get through because i heard there'll be glazed frost today.. :0

yeah i just read zack wrote he's in germany.. soooooo it will happen today, omg *swoons*

where exactly do you come from?

yeah alright, i'll have an eye out for you.. i think i'll be there earlier, but dunno how you could recognize me... i'll probably be the girl passing out and being carried outside xDD
no, i'll wear pink shoes with a black and white zebra print.. maybe you'll see me :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I hope you made it (and then you have to tell me all about your experience!)
Sadly I didn't get to read the description of your shoes before I left Sundaymorning (from Zwolle in the Netherlands;) or I would have definitely tried to find you.

I had a marvelous time. I'll post a selection of my Panic! at the Disco pictures in my LiveJournal tomorrow.

[tonkitragedy.livejournal.com]

yeah i made it!
i think i saw you at the signing session.. we were almost right behind you, but i only saw your backpack when you stepped to the signing table... what did you give them? ôo

I'll write a livejournal, so you know.
i just tell you.. i met them all at burger king.. :0 2 times.. and we took a picture :D

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I gave them chocolate letters, because that's a tradition on December 5th in the Netherlands. Zack got an extra big one and he tweeted about it this morning! \o/

I just posted about the concert here
and I can't wait to read about your day. I hope you share pictures too. I bet it was awesome to see them 'in the wild' so to speak *giggles*

[tonkitragedy.livejournal.com]

yeah i saw the picture and i thought you gave it to him :D i was right, yay :D
just gonna read your post now.. and then i'll translate mine... yesterday i posted it in german, but i'm afraid you won't understand it :0

Wheeee! Go and have loads of fun!! :D

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

\o/ Will do:)

(En op tijd naar bed. Maar nu eerst lekker Sinterklaas bij Paul de Leeuw kijken. Het is een raar idee dat ik met 5 december niet in Nederland ben - had daarom vandaag een eigen mini-sinterklaas-feestje) <+:-)>

[geminigalaxy.livejournal.com]

Good luck (may no snow stand in your way)and have a good time, bring back happy reports of the day!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm not letting the weatherreports ruin my fun (so what if trains are stranded all over the country tonight, tomorrow's another day;)

Will definitely share the fun when I get back!

I AM SO EPICALLY EXCITED FOR YOU I CANNOT STOP MYSELF FROM SPLOOGING MY ALLCAPS ALL OVER YOU. You know they're gonna sing a new song! They HAVE to!

Also, also? Signing table for the WIN. Gah. I wanna hear all about it when you get back! \o/

*badly repressed squee*

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

WEEEEEEEEH. CAPSLOCK IS TOTALLY ALLOWED!

Even if Zack said they won't play new songs. What does he know, anyway, plus they will at least do New Perspective y/y? I've been practising with using the film-function on my camera, so I'm prepared...

Either way I'm just looking forward to seeing them again and meeting a fangirl \o/

(Don't get me started on the signing opportunity. I may faint from squee)
